In late 1994, Noel Lovisa proposed reversing the integration responsibility as a means of shielding supplier intellectual property, thereby preserving prospects for repeat business, and establishing a workable basis for developer specialization.

In June 2018, Lovisa delivered a keynote address at ICSE 2018 in Gothenburg, Sweden[5][6] which, being the 50th anniversary of the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference,[7][8][2] was attended by McIlroy and other industry leaders.

In September 2023, McIlroy extended an invitation to Lovisa to present Emergent Coding at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire.

[9] In late 2023, Code Valley began trials of a decentralized and fully non-custodial software components market featuring a custom Integrated Development Environment (IDE), over 5000 software components occupying 4 levels of abstraction (Behaviour, Systems, Data, Byte), a Distributed Fault Tracing System (DFT), a peer-to-peer electronic cash payment system, and an interactive catalogue of component prices, data sheets, contract specifications, and reference designs.

As all components in the catalogue have a listed price, the total cost of the project can be reliably determined from the expression before committing to construction.

Each component contractor concludes their contract by returning a fragment of code and data that when concatenated, forms the resultant project binary.
